If you listen to swing analyses during televised golf tournaments, you'll hear the analysts go on and on about spine angle.

There's a good reason or this, as maintaining spine angle leads to proper rotation, proper swing plane, proper angle of descent into the ball, and proper release.

In other words, start wrong, and you'll end wrong.

How can you ensure that your spine angle is right? In this video swing tip, SwingFix instructor Chuck Mayhew from the Westerville Golf Center in Columbus, Ohio, demonstrates an unconventional drill for getting the feeling of setting up correctly, delivering the club from the inside, and releasing after impact.

One word of caution: As Chuck mentions in the clip, this drill will challenge your flexibility. So if you have a bad back, give this drill a pass.
